During the last microburst storm, we had torrential rain. The neighbors have all raked their leaves into the street anticipating the city's leaf pick up schedule, as a result, blocking the storm drain. This block has always had a severe drainage problem with water backing up. I haven't seen any "No parking" signs posted indicating we are about to get our leaves picked up.

Thank you, Hampton L, for your note about clearing blocked drains, I do appreciate the effort and the timely resposne. However, the other larger issue is the delayed leaf pick up. The city leaf pick up schedule reflected dates of 11/21 to 12/06 for this neighborhood, as I understand the leaf pick up schedule . If we get another downpour of rain, the leaves that are now sitting in the street will be dragged down, along with the draining rain water, to block the storm drains again. The water cannot drain down the street into the storm drain with all the leaves piled up along the edges of the curb where folks have raked or blown them into the street with leaf blowers, thinking the leaves would be picked up quickly. I was hoping to hear when we could expect the leaves to be picked up on our street? Thanks, Connie

I would like to get the trees in front of my house on the list for trimming, several branches are dead and one fell on my car and I have a huge dent on the roof which is going to cost me $500 to repair. My children and the kids in my neighborhood are constantly playing out front and these branches are always falling.

4/4/2012 – Thank you so much for sharing your very important concern with the City of Richmond government. This situation with needing tree trimming has been formally reported to Richmond Tree Management ( Request #20020829185 ) so that proper inspection and handling can take place accordingly. We appreciate your efforts that help us to “Build A Better Richmond” together – rtt

The grass on the median has yet to be cut this season. I recall a previous Issue posted about this, but that appears to be closed and the grass hasn't been cut. Please add this block to the schedule. Thanks.

The Property Maintenance Division for the City of Richmond has received your complaint; however this case was forwarded to the Department of Public Works for resolution, please contact them for further information.

A part of a dangerous city tree fell on memorial day onto live power lines. This city got the portion of the tree off the lines, but there remains much debris in the tree box and side of the road. The first third of the tree fell onto the roof of 1817 seddon rd during hurricane Irene last. The final 1/3 remains looming. Everyone is afraid to have their children play in range of the tree or park near it. Please clear the debris and chop down dangerous tree!
